Can be offered to:
1. Scheduled for BCS:
• Patients with breast cancer
a. poor cosmetic result expected after standard BCS:
i. Unfavorable tumor to breast size ratio: >10-20 %
breast volume is removed
ii. Unfavorable tumor location
b.Who consider reduction mammaplasty / mastopexy due to
breast hyperplasia / ptosis
2. After standard BCS :
a. Who need re-excision for involved margins
b. With free margins -seek correction of defects for
cosmetic reasons
3.Scheduled for mastectomy: who seek immediate breast
reconstruction
Ideally suited :
• Early T1, T2 breast cancer with size < 4 cm
• Good breast to tumour ratio
• N0 or N1 axillary disease
Contraindications:
• T3,T4 ,>N1 lesions
• No tumor-free margins obtained
• No change or progression after
neoadjuvant therapy
• Multicentric
• No adjuvant radiotherapy
• Inflammatory breast cancer
Parameters OPBS(case n=26) BCS (control n=52)
T3 53.8% 53.8%
T4 23.1% 26.9%

OPBS is a safe procedure for LABC, offering the
similar oncologic results to classic BCS.
Advantages of OPBS
• Resection of larger volumes
• Free margins obtained more frequently (LOE III)
• fewer reoperations (LOE IV)
• Better cosmesis (LOE IV)
• OPBS extends the indications for BCS –larger tumors
• C/l procedures may detect previously unknown cancer
• C/l reduction mammaplasty may reduce the risk of breast cancer
• more homogenous dose distribution of radiation
Disadvantages of OPBS
• Longer duration of surgery
• More visible scars
• Less refunding from insurance companies for concomitant procedures
performed either in the same or the c/l breast
• Experience in oncological and plastic reconstructive surgery-in one-
team approach
• timing and planning of two disciplines-in two-team approach
• Higher complication rate Florian Fitzal, Peter Schrenk (2010)
• use of OPBS did not confer
an increased risk of surgical
complications, despite the
longer operative time
• 75,972 patients underwent BCS
2005 -2014
• 1363 (1.8 %) underwent OPBS
• OPBS with soft tissue transfer
had a significantly longer
operative time 83 vs. 59 min

• Infra-mammary
• Peri-areolar
• Trans- axillary
• Flap Donor sites –
• Hidden naturally by clothing
• TRAM – Supra-pubic area , LD – Upper
Back
Planning Incisions:
•Tumors Located Upper half of Breast
• Avoid Radial Incisions

Planning Incisions
Basic Surgical Technique - OPBS
• Tissue respect & Maintain vascularity
• Sharp Dissection – Cautery/ Knife
• Adequate margins
• Layered Closure & drains?
• Clip – Cavity walls before tissue rearrangement
• Orient the specimen
• Obtain Preop ,intraop and Postop Photographs.
level I OPBS:step by step :
• Skin incision
• Skin undermining and glandular
mobilisation
• NAC undermining
Krishna B. Clough,Ann Surg Oncol (2010)
• Undermining the breast from
both the skin and pectoralis
muscle (dual-plane undermining)
• Full-thickness excision
• Before closing the defect, metal
clips are placed on the
subcutaneous tissue ,pectoralis
muscle and lateral edges of the
resection bed to guide future
radiotherapy
• Glandular reapproximation
• Nipple recentralization.

Editor's Notes

  • #4 OPS is based upon the integration of plastic surgery techniques for immediate reshaping after wide excision for breast cancer he success of BCS for breast cancer is based on the tenet of complete removal of the cancer with adequate surgical margins, while preserving the natural shape and appearance of the breast. Achieving both goals together in the same operation can be challenging, and BCS has not always produced good cosmetic results in all patients. One of the limiting factors is the amount of tissue removed, not only in terms of absolute volume but also in relation to tumor location and relative size of breast
  • #5  plastic surgery techniques were transposed into breast-conse)rving therapy to avoid late unsatisfactory aesthetic results in 1980s in France by Jean-Yves Petit (Institut Goustave-Roussy according to Audretsch is tumor specific immediate reconstruction for breast conservation by using plastic techniques.
  • #9  First and second trimester of pregnancy Previous breast therapeutic irradiation Active collagen vascular disease
  • #11 6.1 : Resection of larger breast volumes (Kaur, Petit et al. 2005; Schrenk, Huemeret al. 2006, Giacalone, Rogeret al. 2007): The amount of breast tissue resected largely depends on the size of the breast and more volume excised does not automatically result in wider resection margins Wider free margins (level III evidence) (Kaur, Petit et al. 2005; Schrenk, Huemer et al. 2006, Giacalone, Roger et al. 2007) Free margins are obtained more frequently (level III evidence) (Kaur, Petit et al. 2005; Schrenk, Huemer et al. 2006, Giacalone, Rogeret al. 2007) and fewer patients may need reoperations (level IV evidence) Better cosmetic results (especially in women who wish to reduce breast weight or ptosis) (level IV evidence) OPS extends the indications for BCS and patients with larger tumors are scheduled to BCS (level IV evidence) Contralateral procedures done for symmetrization may detect previously unknown cancer (Petit, Rietjenset al.1997) Contralateral reduction mammaplasty may reduce the risk of breast cancer (Boice, Perrsonet al.2000) A reduced breast volume allows a more homogenous dose distribution of postoperative radiation
  • #13 Results. We identified 75,972 patients who underwent BCS for breast cancer between 2005 and 2014, of whom 1363 (1.8 %) underwent OBS with soft tissue transfer. Compared with the standard lumpectomy group, patients undergoing OBS were more likely to be younger, had a lower body mass index, were less likely to be smokers, and more often received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. OBS with soft tissue transfer also had a significantly longer operative time (83 vs. 59 min; p\0.001). The multivariable analysis confirmed that soft tissue transfer OBS was not an independent predictor of overall complications (odds ratio 0.78; 95 % confidence interval 0.50–1.19). Conclusions. These data confirm that the use of OBS with soft tissue transfer for breast cancer treatment does not confer an increased risk of surgical complications, despite the longer operative time. This is important given the increasing use of oncoplastic surgery techniques within North America.
  • #16 Add pictures
  • #17 Although the clinical exam is reliable, mammographic evaluation is a more reproducible approach for breast density determination. Breast density predicts the fatty composition of the breast and determines the ability to perform extensive breast undermining and reshaping without complications. Breast density can be classified into four categories based on the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS): fatty (1), scattered fibroglandular (2), heterogeneously dense (3) or extremely dense breast tissue (4).8 Undermining the breast from both the skin and pectoralis muscle (dual-plane undermining) is a major requirement to perform level I OPS.A dense glandular breast (BIRADS 3/4) can easily be mobilized by dual-plane undermining without risk of necrosis. Low-density breast tissue with a major fatty composition (BIRADS 1/2) has a higher risk of fat necrosis after extensive undermining. Low breast density should provoke the decision to either limit the amount of undermining during level I OPS or proceed to a level II OPS that requires only posterior undermining, leaving the skin attached.
  • #18 volume displacement volume Volume displacement techniques rearrange breast tissue by bringing local (dermo)glandular flaps into the defect (advancement, rotation or transposition flaps) (Galimberti, Zurrida et al. 1993; Anderson, Masettiet al.2005; Benelli 2006). Inferior and superior pedicle mammaplasty techniques are preferable in patients with large or ptotic breasts. They facilitate reconstruction of defects located in any breast quadrant when the skin incision patterns are rotated according to the location of the tumor in the breast (Schönegg, Keppkeet al. 1987; Daher 1993; Clough, Lewis et al. 2003). Some reduction techniques retain breast tissue usually discarded with cosmetic reduction mammaplasty to cover quadrantectomy defects (Clough, Krollet al.1999; McCulley, Macmillan 2005; Schrenk, Huemer et al. 2006; Fitzal, Nehrer et al. 2007) (Fig. 2, Fig. 3). Centrally located carcinomas require resection and reconstruction of the NAC using either volume displacement techniques or mastectomy with immediate reconstruction (Huemer, Schrenk et al. 2007; Fitzal, Mittlböck et al. 2008). (Association of Breast Surgery at BASO et al. 2007; Masetti, Di Leone et al. 2006; Anderson, Masetti et al. 2005; Rezai, Darsow et al. 2008)
  • #21 Oncoplastic Classification System We propose a new classification of OPS techniques into two levels based upon the amount of tissue excised and the relative level of surgical difficulty. A level I approach is based on dual-plane undermining, including the nipple– areola complex (NAC), and NAC recentralization if nipple 1376 K. B. Clough et al. deviation is anticipated. No skin excision is required. Level II techniques allow major volume resection. They encompass more complex procedures derived from breast reduction techniques. These ‘‘therapeutic mammoplasties’’ involve extensive skin excision and breast reshaping.9 They result in a significantly smaller, rounder breast. Bilevel Classification Our bilevel classification system leads to a practical guide of OPS techniques (Table 1). This guide allows for selection of the most appropriate OPS procedure during surgical planning. I. If less than 20% of the breast volume is excised, a level I procedure is often adequate. These procedures can be performed by all breast surgeons without specific training in plastic surgery. II. Anticipation of 20–50% breast volume excision will require a level II procedure with excision of excess skin to reshape the breast. They are based upon mammoplasty techniques and require specific training in OPS. Another major consideration in the patient selection criteria is glandular density. If the breast parenchyma is fatty in composition, it may be risky to use a level I technique. Therefore, when planning a large resection in a fatty breast, employing a level II procedure will rOncoplastic

  • #29 Skin incision Skin undermining and glandular mobilization for reshaping NAC undermining NAC deviation towards the excision area. NAC repositioning is easily performed with simple undermining: this is a key component of both level I and II OPS. The first step is to completely transect the terminal ducts and separate the NAC from the underlying breast tissue. A width of 0.5–1 cm of attached glandular tissue is maintained to ensure the integrity of the vascular supply. This appropriate amount of subareolar tissue prevents NAC necrosis and avoids venous congestion. Ultimately, the level of NAC sensitivity may be reduced after extensive mobilization and undermining.11
  • #32 An area of periareolar skin opposite the excision defect is deepithelialized in the shape of a crescent. For level I procedures, the width of deepithelializationcanmeasureupto6 cm.Deepithelization should be achieved sharply, using a scalpel blade or fine scissors. The vascular supply of the NAC after its separation from the gland and deepithelialization is based on the dermal vasculature.13

  • #38 The only prerequisite is a medium-sized, large or ptotic breast with an inframammary fold to areola distance of at least 6 cm. Fatty tissue necrosis is most commonly seen at the top of the inferior pedicle. It is caused by decreased blood supply to the pedicle peak and leads to difficulties In distinguishing fatty tissue necrosis from cancer recurrence.

  • #46 The ligamentous suspension consists of a horizontal fibrous septum originating from the pectoralis fascia at the level of the fifth rib heading toward the nipple and its vertical ligamentous extensions which provide a medial and lateral line of fixation on either border of the septum(Fig. 1 – 4). The medial vertical ligament stretches from the sternum along the second to the fifth rib, while the lateral vertical ligament attaches along the lateral border of the pectoralis minor muscle. Cranially, the vertical ligaments are connected along the second rib by the superficial fascia and in this way form a circle of fibrous attachments. The line of fixation of this circle follows the borders of the pectoralis major muscle origin to a great extent. In an anterior direction, the vertical ligaments merge into the capsule of the breast. Thus, the ligamentous suspension also connects with the ligamenta suspensoria as described by Cooper (Cooper 1840b) as stretching from the anterior sheet of the superficial mammary fascia into the skin. Arising from the same origin at the thoracic wall, the ligamentous suspension also has a superficial cutaneous component that merges into the overlying skin, thereby defining the actual bounds and shape of the breast. A rather weak medial cutaneous ligament stretches into the skin overlying the sternum. The superficial lateral ligament builds a strong connection between the pectoralis minor muscle and the skin and fascia of the axilla, thus producing an axillary hollow by the suspensory ligament of the axilla(Fig. 4). The superficial cutaneous part of the horizontal septum stretches from the same origin at the level of the fifth rib into the submammary crease by densifications of Cooper’s ligaments(Fig. 2); it thereby forms the submammary crease. The main importance of the ligamentous suspension lies in the fact that it acts as a guiding structure for neurovascular supply. The deep component of the ligamentous suspension, which attaches the breast to the thoracic wall, has a predictable relationship to the main vessels and nerves of the breast and the nipple-areola complex. It resembles the mesentery of the intestine both in its thin, pliable structure and in functional terms. The remaining parts of the breast receive no distinct vessels from the thoracic wall, as mentioned in previous descriptions of the hypervascular and hypovascular zones of the anterior chest wall (Palmer, Taylor 1986). The horizontal septum is covered cranially and caudally by two dense layers of vessels running toward the nipple (Fig. 2, Fig. 3). The very distinct cranial layer consists of branches of the thoracoacromial artery, emerging from the pectoralis major at the level of the fourth intercostal space, and a branch of the lateral thoracic artery. The caudal vascular layer is built by cutaneous perforating branches from anastomoses of the fourth and fifth, rarely also the sixth intercostal arteries, which together run in a cranial direction to attach to the horizontal septum. The residual part of the fibrous circle also acts as a guiding structure for the main vascular supply, continuing to run subcutaneously along the capsule of the gland and finally building a subdermal periareolar network (Fig. 4). These are the perforating branches from anastomoses of the internal thoracic artery, which follow the medial vertical ligament, arising from the second to the fourth intercostal spaces, and branches of the lateral thoracic artery arising at the same level, which follow the lateral vertical ligament. These vessels run subcutaneously, protected within channels built by the fibrous structures of the ligaments, which merge into the superficial fascia. At the subdermal periareolar plexus, they anastomose with the vessels which come along the horizontal septum. Both the large vessels and the large nerves run along the ligamentous suspension (1998). To the extent that they are developed, the anterior cutaneous branches of the second to fourth intercostal nerves are guided a long t he medial ligament and the corresponding lateral cutaneous branches along the lateral ligament (Fig. 4). Most importantly, the main nerve to the nipple, the deep branch of the lateral cutaneous branch of the fourth or sometimes the fifth intercostal nerve, always runs along the horizontal septum(Fig. 3). Understanding the course of the main neurovascular supply along the horizontal septum is of avail in preserving viability and sensitivity to the nipple in operations of the breast, e.g. in breast reductions (Würinger 1999, 2005, 2010; Deventer et al. 2008; Hamdi et al. 2009).
